intro
====================================
This message is an invitation to take part into the 2008 HackMeeting,
proposing nodes as workshops, activities, demos, talks, etc., in order
to build, as in past years, a network of activities and meetings
around hacktivism, cyberspace, information sciences and its
techno-political dimensions. You are welcome to join a liberated
weekend in which the multitude-made cyborg of the HM shows itself off.
As you most probably already know, the HackMeeting (HM hereafter) is a
participatory meeting in which the organizer/attendee dichotomy
vanishes in the need of auto-organizing the meeting collectively. We
assume the HM to be a network of self-organised activities (workshops,
talks, panels, exhibitions, posters, etc.) that are known as "nodes".
Everybody is encouraged to coordinate, present or spread a node in the
HM. JOIN THE NETWORK!
There are many menaces to the people's rights in the connected
society: the EU law that aims at limiting the P2P communications by
2010, the electronic ID, RFID, the LSSI/PLCD/LSI/LOPD/Sox laws, the
subcutaneus chip and mass-control biometrics, the canon that
annihilates the presumption of innocence for culture sharers, traffic
cameras and CCTVs which monitor people's movements in the cities,
electronic scans that search for keywords in private conversations,
governmental and corporate personal data smuggling, "offender" lists,
and an endless list of attacks against the fundamental freedoms that
we can enjoy today thanks to the many before us who paid with their blood;
those freedoms which the hacktivist will always respect and defend.
The Big Brother hour is gone, it's time now to freely share, to
create, to feel, to find feeling and create feeling, to realize one's
life, to acknowledge the innate collective dream of helping and being
helped, to learn, to speak out, to smile, to type, to code, to touch,
to hack, to explain, and a large number of motivations that a HM
carries within itself.
The time has come to act and to be coherent. It's time now for living a
hacktivist's pure experience.
topics
====================================
These are some of the topics that have been discussed in previous HMs,
or topics that we would like to work through the upcoming HM. But they
aren't the only ones. We are looking for the new points of view that you

modal participation
====================================
The modes are open, these are some suggestions:
* Posters (that explain or synthesize the activities of a group,
the ideas of someone, a way of doing something or the results of
a research project)
* Talks (about 45 mins plus 15 mins for questions)
* Workshops (2-3 hours, a more participative and productive event,
compared to talks)
* Coordination meetings
* Panels
* Exhibitions (GPL material, old computers, clever artefacts, art,... )
* Performances (theatre plays, mobile exhibitions,...)
Besides the physical modes, the HM also admits virtual participation,
text, video and audio will be welcome, and they will be uploaded to
the web along with any other digital artifact that you would like to share.
how to propose a node

processing of it.
In any case, to propose a node send a mail with the subject
"[node] node_name" to these two adresses:

# Recommended prior knowledge for the participants
# Structure/contents
# Methodology: exposition, discussion, hacking, etc.
# Duration
# Recommended reading
* Information for coordination:
# Required material (including type and size of room)
# Timetable slot preference
# Likelihood of attending the HM and hence giving the node (1-10)
# Documentation of files of the node (they will be uploaded to the
web)
other modes of participation
======================================
Other types of participation apart from the nodes (like providing
material, participation in the assemblies, coordinate activities,
streaming, translations , etc.) are welcome and needed. For any further
information and coordination, the HM assembly meets virtually and

more information
====================================
The first HM took place in Firenza 1998 and since, the event has
repeated annually in Italy (http://hackmeeting.org). In 2000 the first
spanish-speaking HM took place [http://sindominio.net/~hm/hmbcn00
Barcelona], and the event has repeated every year since as well.
Other cities such as Chicago (USA) and Santiago de Chile have joined in too.
